RDS

I have a ColdFusion server which I am trying to connect to from Flex Builder 2. I have set a password under the CFAdmin for RDS, and have looked at the web.xml to verify no commented lines in the code shown below; stopped and restarted the service but still receive Unable to contact the RDS Server. Have been successful using the developers edition, but this is my enterprise (v7,0,2,142559) and I cannot get it to connect.

    And would you mind sharing the solution so that others can benefit, or would that require too much insight?

    The default ports for flex builder are 80 or 8500, but the RDS wasn't running on any of those, so I did a port scan and found the right port to connect to. And please, you can't tell me that you're not sick to death of asking a question and receiving a completely irrelavant response. If I had asked "Do you think it's a bad idea to have RDS turned on in a production environment?" .... then we could throw our hands up in the air and shout out in delight! for we have received - at long last - intelligent information from a paucity of responses.

    Looks like you just can't help yourself....

    As for the original responder's post, I can understand why that response may have been posted, since your statement " Have been successful using the developers edition, but this is my enterprise..." was a tad bit ambiguous and could have been interpreted as you attempting to add RDS to your production environment.... but pardon everyone in advance for accidentally posting any response that doesn't meet with your unknown pre-approval... oops, now you got me being sarcastic.

    An open RDS connection in production is high risk.

    OMG! What insight! No it's not production, it's for my developers. We don't want to use their developer's editions because of the 2 ip limit, so we have a whole developer server - it's quite the concept.
